[3] Richard Boone hosted the series[2] and starred in about half of the episodes, garnering an Emmy nomination for himself and a Golden Globe award for the show.

His repertory company of 15 actors included up-and-comers such as Guy Stockwell and Robert Blake as well as such established performers as Bethel Leslie, Jeanette Nolan (both of whom likewise received 1964 Emmy nominations[4]), Warren Stevens and Harry Morgan.

A Goodson-Todman production,[2] the series boasted Clifford Odets among its regular writers, and Buck Houghton produced.

[5] Programmed against the CBS sitcom, Petticoat Junction, Boone's anthology show was unable to find or keep an audience.

It was cancelled after only one season,[6] and has not been syndicated or released on home video, except for a brief showing on the Global Television Network in Canada in the late 1980s.
